    Second compressor for more capacity

    Sounds simple. As you say, I'm not doing this enough for it to really matter. How did you connect your three compressors?

    Second compressor for more capacity

    Any chance of a photo of your setup? Where is the "tee" located? Is it just dangling in the air?

    Second compressor for more capacity

    That looks clean. The only reason I was against running both compressors is perceived complications with pressure setting offsets between the two and the need for dedicated 20A circuits. It sounds like in general you just need one compressor at a slightly lower pressure than the other and Bob's...

    Second compressor for more capacity

    Yes, HVLP is what I'm stuck with at the moment. LVLP might be the solution. I find that if the compressor is not running when I start spraying, then the pressure at the gun drops off within a few seconds of the trigger pull, but it still takes a while before compressor kicks back on again. By...

    Second compressor for more capacity

    @dchawk81 I was thinking of running air from the first compressor INTO the second compressor at that point where I've circled green. Then just plugging the tools into the existing regulated outlet on the second compressor (where I've circled yellow). That air should have settled somewhat by...

    Second compressor for more capacity

    Thanks for the input, you and everyone. When you say "tee into the outlet on the second tank", I'm guessing you mean after the pressure switch. See attachment yellow circle. What about just teeing into that **** plug (for want of a better term) circled in green. In fact there's one of those on...

    Here in NZ, you have to go 3-phase to get anything bigger than what I have.

    Second compressor for more capacity

    I need more air to run my spray gun. Pressure dies out pretty quickly with the current setup - about 13 cfm, 100 litres, 125 psi. So, I'm looking for the best way to connect two horizontal style air compressors for more capacity while only running one of the compressors if possible. Or if...
